With “Interstellar” having been nominated in several categories for the 2015 Academy Awards, below are statements from the various nominees.
Hans Zimmer / Best Original Score Nominee:
“Without a shadow of doubt, the score for “Interstellar” was Chris and I at our most collaborative. Even in this modern world of texting and emailing, sometimes all you need is a simple, type-written letter from your director to spark what undoubtedly became one of the most personal scores I’ve ever written. Chris and I make movies family-style – so much of the film’s music was written with our children in mind, and that’s what makes this honor by the Academy really special. This is as much his score as it is mine.”
Andrew Lockley / Best Visual Effects Nominee:
The “Interstellar” crew here at Double Negative is really excited about the news. The work was extremely strong at the VFX bake off this year, so we’re all incredibly proud and honored to be selected as one of the final five nominees going forward to the awards. A huge thank you goes out to everyone involved.
Mark Weingarten / Sound Mixing nominee:
“An incredible experience. A true team effort from pre production, production, through post. So proud to have had the opportunity to have been a part of it.”
Richard King / Sound Editing nominee:
“I’m humbled and excited beyond belief, and thrilled the (“Interstellar”) score and the sound mix was recognized as well.”
Gregg Landakker / Sound Mixing nominee:
“When you have the creative insight of Christopher Nolan and the many talents that our team brought to the table it was a stimulating collaboration that I was honored to work on.”
Gary Rizzo/Sound Mixing nominee:
“I’m completely humbled. Being a part of Chris Nolan’s passion to push the envelope and bring the medium to new levels has been an epic experience.”
Paul Franklin / Best Visual Effects nominee:
“Interstellar”’s nomination for Best Visual Effects is a great honor for us and sets a wonderful seal of approval on the amazing work from all the artists in our visual effects, special effects and miniature effects teams. We couldn’t be more excited!”
